Liked: The location is fantastic as is the rooftop. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Disliked: Breakfast - was only toast, coffee, and OJ. Nighttime events were unclear as to how you register or what was coming up later in the week (suggest maybe doing a bulletin board along with who you contact if you want to join, or having regular nighttime schedule of rooftop drinks followed by a club?). Bathroom situation was a pain - 12 girls sharing 1 bathroom meant it took 2 hours to wait for a shower before going out at night.

Liked: Just the location, even being a bit noisy.

Disliked: The staff is so weird. They are in about 5 people and they are always coming in to your room to see I dont know what. The housekeeper used to enter our room at 11 pm to spray something and just leave. I've never seen that. People coming and going all the time and saying it was for our "security". Despite the fact I stayed in a room for 12 people when I booked for one with 8. It was terrible. Too messy, no space for our things, I wouldn' stay there again. And I also spent a lot of money there because of the spring break weekend. No reccomend.

Liked: The terrace with the Jacuzzi and a beautiful view to Ocean Drive. The location is perfect!

Disliked: In Hostelbookers.com they had a 6 bed private room, which I booked. When I arrived there I came to know that it was actually a 12 bed dorm with a wall and a door separating 6 beds from the others, but since the division was not complete you would get glare whenever someone else turned on the lights and listen to any noise in the other room. Plus it was just 1 bathroom for 12 people.

Liked: This place has all the makings to be an amazing hostel. Great facilities, roof top bar in progress with plenty of sun beds, couches, tables, a pool table and a Jacuzzi! Great location on Ocean Drive you can walk to the beach in 2 minutes and close to clubs, pubs etc. in 6 months time once they have ironed out the kinks this will be the place to be in South Beach.

Disliked: Not so much dislike but more frustrating then anything. They provide free beer (yes you read that correctly) from 7-8 every night yet no one knew about it as there is no signage and the reception staff didn't mention it. We also bought food to cook for dinner only to find out that the hostel was cooking a free dinner for all residents. Again know body knew about this due to lack of signage and no info from staff. Few kinks still to be worked out but if it lives up to its potential it will go close to being the best hostel in the USA.

Liked: The location is amazing. You are right in the beautiful Art Deco district and you can be at the beach in under a minute. The staff were friendly. Bathrooms in the room means you don't have to share with so many people.

Disliked: The atmosphere of this place is not really comfortable. There are new owners and I think they are working on making the place better, but at the moment, the common area and bar are quite awkward places to hang out.

Liked: It's right on the beach front, rooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily, friendly atmosphere. We actually booked to come back 5 days later instead of a different hostel because we liked it so much.

Disliked: Being on Ocean Drive it can get pretty noisy at night, which we expected, but if you were looking for somewhere quiet, then this probably isn't it.

Liked: Fantastic location overlooking South Beach. Close to the clubs, restaurants and shops. Clean rooms and chilled atmosphere. On site bar. Free wifi and the use of computers. Private toilet in each room. Free breakfast and the use of towels (Bath, beach). Roof terrace with hot tub overlooking ocean drive.

Disliked: Not the liveliest of hostels, if your in Miami to party and go wild then there are alternatives (Location definitely not as good though). No outside alcohol allowed at the hostel which can prove expensive.

Liked: The staff were very helpful, friendly and most went out of their way to help guests. The place was clean and the internet was fairly quick. The location is excellent and the price is a steal.

Disliked: If arriving by car expect to pay $15 a day valet fee or $20 a day for Fri, Sat. This really adds to the price of your stay and there really is no other option for parking. The valet is fairly quick and was not a hassle for the most part, just the expense. This place is not as hip as they claim. I dub this place "Posh Punk" The roof top area was a bunch of broken chairs and ripped up couches with a non functioning hot tub and a bar that was not staffed. The 2nd floor bar is staffed but with wine based liquor, they only have a beer/wine license. The price of drinks was not very cheap and the selection was poor.
